Since 2003, the National Portrait Gallery of London organizes each year the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize (formerly called Schweppes Photographic Portrait Prize and Photographic Portrait Prize) : a competition dedicated to portraits, submitted by amateur or professional worldwide photographers. Among the 6000 submissions, 60 photographs are first selected. The director of the gallery choses the winners. Here’s a selection of this year’s contest.
